Agricultural activities maintain vigor and plant-based protein intake in older adults with type 2 diabetes: A feasibility study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: This study explored the feasibility of agricultural activities for older adults with type 2 diabetes and the psychological and nutritional effects of the activities. Methods: Nine adults over 65 years of age, capable of performing agricultural activities without assistance were randomly assigned to two groups in a crossover design. Participants engaged in one-hour morning agricultural activities at the Kyoto University farm once a week for 15 weeks (July-November). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test compared Δ values, representing changes from baseline to follow-up, between control and intervention years. Results: Six participants (three each group) completed the protocol. After the assignment of nine, one participant withdrew, and two others were unable to participate in any agricultural activities due to busy schedules. The procedures were performed safely and no adverse events were reported. Vigor/Activity scores of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-VA) indicated significantly maintained vigor in the intervention year; the median Δ POMS-VA was -13 in the control year and 2 in the intervention year ( Conclusions: Weekly agricultural activities for older adults with type 2 diabetes showed potential as a therapeutic option, warranting further investigation in a larger and more diverse populations of older patients.
